Welcome to HuskyDog.com, an educational site
providing up-to-date information and resources on the Arctic, the
Inuit culture and Canada's newest territory - Nunavut.
We are based in Nunavut Territory, (ARCTIC Canada)
where we develop our school and classroom presentations, soapstone
carving workshops and educational CD-ROM’s about this new territory
and the people who live here. Each winter we visit hundreds of schools
and conferences across Canada giving students first hand information
about life today in a typical Arctic community.
At the same time we have many Inuit artisans in our
home community of Gjoa Haven who make excellent soapstone carvings and
sewn products like sealskin mitts, caribou boots, and wall hangings
and we would like to help these artisans support their families by
highlighting their availability on our site.
 
On April 1st, 1999, the map of
Canada changed for the first time in 50 years with the creation of
Nunavut Territory. The Northwest Territories was split and
approximately 2 million square kilometers of the central and eastern
arctic became 'Nunavut'.
